Scones. Love em. Not too sweet and ENDLESS possibilities. As most of us are experiencing holiday-treat hangovers, these little bits of baked goods serve as a perfect transition back to normal life.
The recipe comes from the February edition of Martha Stewart Living magazine. (duh!)
As usual, I tweaked the recipe to make it Sigi-fied. Less butter and sugar, more cinnamon and oats, low fat milk instead of buttermilk. One batch was apple and oat, the other was dark chocolate and clementine. Once you've created the basic dough, you can add anything! Anything at all! Nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate, orange zest, anything!
For the clementine and dark chocolate, I added the juice of 2 lil' cuties and the zest of one, and then a generous handful of my fave baking chocolate - Ghirardelli's. Seriously guys, go big or go home. Sure, you can buy the store-brand chocolate chips and save a couple dollars, but blech! Splurge. Live a little.
